Good and Bad News

Raul and his family returned for the Tuesday night Bible study. They seem eager to study the Bible and learn about God. That's the good news! The bad news is about Pedro, whom God used to bring the family to our Bible study. Tuesday afternoon we went out to buy bread for the Bible study, when we found Pedro lying on the sidewalk, too drunk to even open the gate to his home. We rolled him inside, shut the gate, and left him there. Not much else we could do. We continue to pray for him. He needs the Lord, and he needs a family to take him in.
God's ways are wonderful

A new family visited us for our Tuesday night Bible study! God works in wonderful ways! Here's how: Our friend Pedro comes to our door with a new cell phone. (New to him.) He tells me it was a gift, and he wants me to unblock it. Okay. I tell him to leave it with me til Monday. He's hesitant, but gives in. The next day another friend in the park, Carlos, comes to our door with another man. They tell me the cell phone belongs to this man's son, and Pedro told them I had the phone. I hand over the cell phone, but the man, Raul, wants us to meet his son and his wife. So he brings them in his truck and we invite them inside. Turns out Raul has been looking for a Bible study and wants help for his son, who is becoming alcoholic. In the end, they came for our Tuesday night Bible study, in which we examined Colossians chapter three. All because Pedro wanted a cell phone. God works in wonderful ways!
Moving

It't not easy to move a piano, but friends make it less work. I took apart the piano for the move, and then we put it back together. Our new house is only 100 feet away from our present house, but it still takes time to move. For us, the process is slow. We need to reduce our belongings to less than half. Although we hope to bless others by giving them what we don't need.

Pastor Antonio, on the left, came all the way from Capulispungo to visit his struggling sheep. He tries to visit once a month, but the trip takes over 4 hours! We visited them on Sunday. Only a few members as you can see. I enjoyed connecting with Antonio as we caught up on various members of Capulispungo who are now in various places. We held a small service. The women wanted to sing "their" songs (Quichua style). Accompanying them on the accordion brought back lots of memories of playing in the communities.

We haven't moved into our new house yet, but we wanted to host the Bible study there. So we moved some furniture first. The living room is set, and we used a portable table for the snack, but we still have to move in the kitchen. Little by little. May God use our new house for His purposes!
